Lee Westfall has a
strong, loving family. She has a home she loves and a loyal steed. She
has a best friend—who might want to be something more.

She also has a secret.

Lee
can sense gold in the world around her. Veins deep in the earth. Small
nuggets in a stream. Even gold dust caught underneath a fingernail. She
has kept her family safe and able to buy provisions, even through the
harshest winters. But what would someone do to control a girl with that
kind of power? A person might murder for it.

When everything Lee
holds dear is ripped away, she flees west to California—where gold has
just been discovered. Perhaps this will be the one place a magical girl
can be herself. If she survives the journey.

Titel: Bone GapFörfattare: Laura RubySerie: -Sidor: 345Everyone knows Bone Gap
is full of gaps—gaps to trip you up, gaps to slide through so you can
disappear forever. So when young, beautiful Roza went missing, the
people of Bone Gap weren’t surprised. After all, it wasn’t the first
time that someone had slipped away and left Finn and Sean O’Sullivan on
their own. Just a few years before, their mother had high-tailed it to
Oregon for a brand new guy, a brand new life. That’s just how things go,
the people said. Who are you going to blame?

Finn knows that’s
not what happened with Roza. He knows she was kidnapped, ripped from the
cornfields by a dangerous man whose face he cannot remember. But the
searches turned up nothing, and no one believes him anymore. Not even
Sean, who has more reason to find Roza than anyone, and every reason to
blame Finn for letting her go.

As we follow the stories of Finn,
Roza, and the people of Bone Gap—their melancholy pasts, their
terrifying presents, their uncertain futures—acclaimed author Laura Ruby
weaves a heartbreaking tale of love and loss, magic and mystery, regret
and forgiveness—a story about how the face the world sees is never the
sum of who we are.

There are two Earths,
almost identical in every way—two copies of every person, every city,
every stone or blade of grass—but one Earth is slowly disappearing,
person by person, city by city. And they don't plan to go quietly.
Lirael has been training since she was a child to be a merciless
sleeper-soldier for her vanishing planet.

Her mission is to kill
her duplicate on the other Earth and slip seamlessly into her life. The
family never even suspects they are living with an imposter.

She is the perfect soldier.

At least, she is in the beginning.

But
the wait for the final order—to rise up and take over the planet—is
long. By the time it comes, will Lirael still be willing to destroy
everyone who has ever loved her?

Titel: The Girl at MidnightFörfattare: Melissa GreySerie: The Girl at Midnight #1Sidor: 357

Beneath the streets of
New York City live the Avicen, an ancient race of people with feathers
for hair and magic running through their veins. Age-old enchantments
keep them hidden from humans. All but one. Echo is a runaway pickpocket
who survives by selling stolen treasures on the black market, and the
Avicen are the only family she's ever known.

loyal. So when a centuries-old war crests on the borders of her home,
she decides it's time to act.

Legend has it that there is a way
to end the conflict once and for all: find the Firebird, a mythical
entity believed to possess power the likes of which the world has never
seen. It will be no easy task, though if life as a thief has taught Echo
anything, it's how to hunt down what she wants . . . and how to take
it.

But some jobs aren't as straightforward as they seem. And this one might just set the world on fire.

A young woman awakes
trapped in an enclosed space. She has no idea who she is or how she got
there. With only her instincts to guide her, she escapes her own
confinement—and finds she’s not alone. She frees the others in the room
and leads them into a corridor filled with the remains of a war long
past. The farther these survivors travel, the worse are the horrors they
confront. And as they slowly come to understand what this prison is,
they realize that the worst and strangest possibilities they could have
imagined don’t even come close to the truth.

In the kingdom of
Lovero, nine rival Families of assassins lawfully kill people for a
price. As a highly skilled member of one of these powerful clans,
seventeen-year-old Lea Saldana has always trusted in the strength of her
Family. Until she awakens to find them murdered and her home in flames.
The Da Vias, the Saldanas’ biggest enemy, must be responsible—and Lea
should have seen it coming. But her secret relationship with the Da
Vias’ son, Val, has clouded her otherwise killer instinct—and given the
Da Vias more reason than ever to take her Family down.

Racked
with guilt and shattered over Val’s probable betrayal, Lea sets out to
even the score, with her heart set on retaliation and only one thought
clear in her mind: make the Da Vias pay.

With shades of The
Godfather and Romeo and Juliet, this richly imagined fantasy from debut
author Sarah Ahiers is a story of love, lies, and the ultimate
vengeance.
